Dub-T-123 Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 That top is BEAUTIFUL. I love the color too. If it plays and sounds anywhere near as good as it looks it's a keeper. And, as always, nice photography. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pippy Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 Thanks for all the kind words, folk. The guitar is a 1995 Les Paul Classic. One previous owner who ditched the 'scripted' PG and swapped out the pups for a pair of Seymour Duncans. I don't know what type yet. The finish is, almost unbelievably, Honeyburst but because the timber is so dark it has that unusually dark overall look. In real life it resembles a type of stone known here as "Tiger's Eye". It shimmers in the light as it moves. Very unusual. It plays beautifully but tone-wise it's still a bit of an unknown as the treble tone pot has been wired up incorrectly which means that with the exception of the 'rhythm' choice I haven't heard what it can do. On that setting it sounded good enough to risk! Theres quite a few tricks.I can see in the photo but the main thing will require a very good camrea. Funnily enough, dem00n, it's a straight shot taken in my dining-room near the French windows. You don't need a fancy camera to take half-decent snaps; just an understanding of what 'Light' does. 'Photography' - Drawing with Light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pippy Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 You lie... Correct! I forgot to say that it's a Les Paul 'Classic' Premium Plus; hence the fancier than normal figure. Apologies. Nice chair. IKEA? It's hard to tell that dam beautiful guitar is blocking the shot! LOL! There's a shot of the chair on it's way to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats on a great guitar pippy Thanks again, people. Re-reading the posts it occured to me that on this occasion, in retrospect, I've been tripped up by one of my normal traits; when I tried out the guitar I didn't plug it in until I was already sure I was going to buy it. Had I given it a proper going-over in the shop I'd have realised that the tone circuitry was awry and had it fixed before I handed over the readies! Lesson learned! PLUG IT IN!!!!!

rocketman Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Yeah I'd like to get a closer look at the top on that chair, but that darn guitar is in the way! That really should be a Premium Premium (mine is a Premium and it doesn't look as good as yours). Congrats on a great find!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dub-T-123 Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 I would NOT have guessed that that is a Classic. It seems they spared it the snot-green inlay treatment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledzep59 Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Wow. That thing is amazing. What a top! I would have bought that guitar without playing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
